Overview
- A MANIT professor appointed by the Madhya Pradesh High Court measured the Aishbagh rail overbridge turn at about 118°40'01", not 90°.
- The expert said the structure conforms to the General Arrangement Drawing, which specifies roughly 119°, and the bench ordered the report shared with all parties.
- After the report was submitted, the state sought time to review its blacklisting of M/s Puneet Chaddha, and the court granted the request.
- Earlier, the government had blacklisted the construction and design firms and suspended seven PWD engineers following a probe that cited poor coordination with Railways and issues such as pillar spacing.
- PWD Minister Rakesh Singh maintained there was no '90-degree issue' and said safety measures were followed while administrative reviews proceed.
